Understanding General Relativity and Curved Spacetime
Introduction I revived some brief notes recently that I had compiled some years ago to create my simple Introduction to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity, promising later to address his far more difficult Theory of General Relativity (GR), that took even Einstein another 10 years to publish after his 2005 Special Relativity (SR), published…
Understanding Einstein’s Special Relativity Physics
This article provides a simple introduction to Einstein’s Special Relativity, using Prof Hermann Bondi’s k-calculus that he introduced to us in the King’s College, London Mathematics department in the late 1960s.
Analogies between Coronavirus infection modelling, telephone exchange capacity planning, Zwift game platform expansion, military simulation models and queuing theory
I reflect on my past experiences with event-based simulation, connecting it to Queuing Theory and the statistical mathematics used in telephone exchanges and modern technological applications, particularly gaming platforms like Zwift. I draw parallels between call arrival patterns and infection models, particularly regarding COVID-19. I acknowledge the influence of historical research, including work by Prof.…
